“The Spine an important bone structure in the body”

The spine is one of the most important structures in our body, as it acts as the first barrier protecting the spinal cord. The spinal cord is a column of nerves that connects the brain with the rest of our bodies and allows us to control our movements; therefore, if the spinal cord is distressed in any way, it can cause pain and lead to disability.

Disc fractures and lumbar spine stenosis are the most common spinal disorders and can cause nerve compression or nerve irritation that can lead to lower back pain and pain around the posterior hip or leg, causing numbness and weakness in the leg muscles.

Patients who experience spinal discomfort or disorders should seek diagnosis and treatment from specialists in the field of spine treatment. Those patients can get treated with medical therapy and rehabilitation and/or spinal operations using new, innovative technology, and appropriate continuous treatment.
